Did they ditch the spidey sense ability?


I didn't notice it employed in the movie at all.

Check out the leaked infinity war footage..seems like his spidey sense is something he may develop..

The director of Homecoming said he didn't want it, but the Russo brothers have him displaying the SS in the leaked trailer for Infinity War and it was hinted at in Civil War.

AP, if that's the case it sounds like Sony and Marvel have contradictory visions for the character. I missed the Spider sense. It's an important ability of Spider-Man.

They needed more time for jokes.

Considering his “Iron Spidey” suit was a big help to him in this movie (kudos to Stark), having his Spidey sense work wasn’t all that necessary here. And as I always say, this 15-year-old Peter Parker is up to this time developing and finding his powers. Therefore, I wouldn’t expect to see him utilized all his abilities in his first solo movie.

With that in mind, dropping this important aspect in Homecoming - even though it was hinted in Civil War - was kinda neat. Eventually he will be employing it later on, so good decision by the director to leave it out this one time.
